`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,928,348: Claim 24
`"a) an electromagnetic field-functioning device having a magnetically inducible core"
`
`The Aisin Pump comprises an electromagnetic field-functioning device having a magnetically inducible core.
`
`For example, the Aisin Pump contains a stator assembly comprising poles with wire windings wrapped around said poles.
`The poles, combined with an electric input, create a rotating magnetic field within the core. At least one (permanent)
`magnet is contained within a rotor, which sits in the middle of the stator assembly (i.e., the core). The rotor fits into a
`molded space in the monolithic body of the motor of the Aisin Pump, such space being located in the middle of the stator
`assembly. This location situates the magnet within the core of the stator assembly, in the center of the poles with copper
`wire windings wrapped around them. An electric input provides a charge to these windings (conductors), which then allows
`the polarity of the poles to change. The magnet then rotates with the changing polarities of the poles.
`
`Pictured below is a cross section of the pump including the stator assembly and the rotor. A cross section of the rotor shows
`the magnet within:
`

`
`Also pictured below are conductors (wire windings) situated around the molded space in which the rotor, containing the at

`
`and at least one electrical
`conductor that creates a
`magnetic field in the core
`when electrical current is

`conductor;
`
`The Aisin Pump comprises at least one electrical conductor that creates a magnetic field in the core when electrical current is
`conducted through the conductor.
`
`For example, as explained above, the Aisin Pump comprises a stator assembly with copper wires wrapped around the poles
`of the stator assembly. These wires are conductors.

`
`ELECTROSTATIC FIELD
`
`• Compare the definitions of a magnetic field (from the previous page) and an electrostatic field.
`• Describe what field intensity is and how it is determined.
`• Explain the "right-hand rule."
`
`Electrostatic Field
`
`Remember that electrons have a negative electrostatic field surrou ndi ng them. When energy from a power source such
`as a battery is applied to a circuit, making the electrons flow through a conductor a new type of fi eld is developed
`around the wire . This is called an electromagnetic field. You can learn more about why this field develops in the
`materials about magnetism.
`
`As we can see in the diag ram below, the magnetic field that surrounds a current-carrying conductor is made up of
`concentric lines of force. The strength of these ci rcu lar lines of force gets prog ressively smaller th e furthe r away from the
`con ductor we get. Also, if a stronger cu rrent is made to flow through the cond uctor, the magnetic lines of force become
`stronger. As a matter of fact, we can say that the strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the cu rrent that
`flows thro ugh the cond uctor.
